Renewal Energy

Our energy expertise can elevate renewable energy to become part of a bigger, more effective, and impactful solution. By asking the right questions, evaluating many possibilities, and handling all logistics, we find and install a solution that’s renewable, measurable, and attainable.

At-a-glance

• - Renewable energy is the fastest-growing energy source in the United States, increasing 42 percent from 2010 to 2020 (up 90 percent from 2000 to 2020).
• - Renewables made up nearly 20 percent of utility-scale U.S. electricity generation in 2020, with the bulk coming from hydropower (7.3 percent) and wind power (8.4 percent).
• - Solar generation (including distributed), which made up 3.3 percent of total U.S. generation in 2020, is the fastest-growing electricity source.
• - Globally, renewables made up 29 percent of electricity generation in 2020, much of it from hydropower (16.8 percent).
• - A record amount of over 256 GW of renewable power capacity was added globally during 2020.
• - Renewable ethanol and biodiesel transportation fuels made up more than 17 percent of total U.S. renewable energy consumption in 2020, a decrease from recent years, likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the United States:

• - Almost 5 percent of the energy consumed across sectors in the United States was from renewable sources in 2020 (11.6 quadrillion Btu out of a total of 92.9 quadrillion Btu). U.S. consumption of renewables is expected to grow over the next 30 years at an average annual rate of 2.4 percent, higher than the overall growth rate in energy consumption (0.5 percent per year) under a business-as-usual scenario.
• - Renewables made up 19.8 percent of electricity generation in 2020, with hydro and wind making up the majority. That’s expected to rise to 35 percent by 2030. Most of the increase is expected to come from wind and solar. Non-hydro renewables have increased their share of electric power generation from less than 1 percent in 2005 to over 12.5 percent at the end of 2020 while demand for electricity has remained relatively stable.
